Opinions on SW Camaro - Help me Decide

My car in my sig is how it is now.

I'm pretty much sold on matte black TF3 striping. I'm having it done. But should I pinstripe white the rim lip? And should I matte black the side mirrors as well? Here's some looks:

Good luck taking care of flat black paint. if it scuffs or gets anything on it, it can be next to impossible to get it off without screwing up the finish.

Hmm, like the mirrors, not a fan of the white on the rim.

I'm 50/50 on the mirrors but a no on the white stripe on rims. I also have a SW and just got my quote for matte black vinyl on the hood/roof/trunk... just trying to figure out what exactly to do with the trunk if I go full hood and roof, do just the top of the trunk to the spoiler and leave that white or do the whole trunk and spoiler black...decisions... my back up is to do just the T3 striping like what you have planned...

Good luck either way

I would leave the rims and mirrors alone. Just go with the stripes, they look really nice!

I vote bottom left corner. The white around the rim would look great when your driving

Thanks, guys. Went ahead and went with just the matte black stripes. Hood, roof, trunk. I'll also be removing the plastidip on my front fascia and having them vinyl that up too.

No pinstripe, no windows.

Appointment is Thursday. Can't wait to see the car done!
